SHAVING MUG Filed June 4, 1934 i i 552; 7 m V INVENTOR MW ya ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 27, 1934 UNITED STATES SHAVING MUG Robert L. Graham, McAlester, kla., assignor to F. W. Fitch Company, Des Moines, Iowa Application June 4, 1934, Serial No. 729,010

2 Claims.

This invention relates to shaving mugs and its general object is to provide what may be termed a fountain mug for use with shaving cream, in that it includes a reservoir from which cream can be dispensed in an easy and expeditious manner and in desired quantities for making lather within the mug.

A further object of the invention is to provide a fountain shaving mug for use with shaving cream, that is inexpensive to manufacture, simple in construction, easy to operate, and extremely eflicient in use and service.

This invention also consists in certain other r features of construction and in the combination of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan View thereof.

Figure 3 is a botton plan View.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken through the top or cover of the reservoir.

Figure 5 is a similar view taken through the body of the reservoir.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference numeral 1 indicates the body of my mug which as shown includes the usual open top, an outwardly flared base 2, and a handle 3.

The body of the mug is not provided with the usual bottom, but is interiorly screw threaded, with the threads arranged in an annular recess extending from the lower end and provides a shoulder 4 at the upper end of the recess as clearly shown in Figure 1.

Threadedly mounted in the recess is a collar or ring 5 that acts to hold the reservoir of my mug in position, and the reservoir includes a substantially semi-circular body 6 which is preferably formed from flexible material such as rubber and includes an annular flange 7 at the upper edge thereof to be received by the top of the ring 5. The body 6 is provided with a top or cover 8 that is formed from stiff material and is upwardly flared toward its center with an opening 9 centrally arranged therein. The top or cover 8 has its peripheral edge in contacting engagement with the shoulder 4 which acts as a stop for the reservoir, and it will be noted that the collar or ring 5 is provided with a plurality of lugs 10 depending from the lower end thereof to act as means whereby the ring can be easily threaded within or removed from its recess, and

the ring acts to hold the reservoir and its cover in operative position, as shown in Figure 1.

From the above description and disclosure of the drawing, it will be obvious that the reservoir is to receive shaving cream, and when filled, the cover and its body 6 is arranged within the threaded recess andthe collar applied in position as shown. When pressure is applied to the body of the reservoir, it will be apparent that the shaving cream will pass through the opening 9 for disposal within the body of the mug, for making lather in the usual manner with the usual shaving brush. Due to the fact that the body 6 as well as its flange '7 is formed from flexible material such as rubber, a leak tight connection will be provided between the flange and the ring 5.

It will be further noted that all the parts of my mug are separable, so that they can be easily cleaned and retained in a sanitary condition.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. A fountain shaving mug comprising a body having an open bottom with an annular recess extending therefrom upwardly into said body, a reservoir closing the bottom and including a flexible body, a flange formed on the periphery of the flexible body and receivable in the recess, a cover for the flexible body and having a dispensing opening arranged therein, said cover having its periphery received between the shoulder and flange, and means received in the recess and engageable with the flange to provide a leak proof connection and for detachably securing the reservoir within the mug body.

2. A fountain shaving mug comprising a body having a handle secured thereto and an open bottom with an annular recess extending therefrom upwardly into said body, a reservoir closing the bottom and including a substantially semi-circular flexible body, a flange formed on the periphery of said flexible body and receivable in the recess, a cover for the flexible body and having a dispensing opening arranged centrally therein, said cover being upwardly flared toward the opening and having its periphery received between the shoulder and flange, means threadedly received in the recess and engageable with the flange to provide a leak proof connection and for detachably securing the reservoir within the mug body, and handle means included in the reservoir securing means for actuating the latter.
